VijeoCitect version 7.20 Service Pack 1

Service Pack Uninstall


The procedure for removing (rolling back) Service Pack 1 depends on which Operating System you are running.

All Windows Versions


Before following one of the procedures below, backup your citect.ini file to a temporary location. You can use the Computer Setup Editor (via Tools menu) to determine the location of this file. This step is required as the uninstall procedure may revert some settings back to their default. Additionally, unless you are restoring your projects to the backups made prior to Service Pack upgrade, you will also need to backup the citect.frm file from the Bin directory. Restore the citect.ini file (and possibly citect.frm) to their original location upon completion of the uninstall procedure. During the uninstallation process the user will be prompted to specify the VijeoCitect 7.20 installer location if it is no longer accessible. The following message is shown if VijeoCitect 7.20 has been installed from a DVD: "The feature you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or other removable disk that is not available". Hence when uninstalling SCADA service pack 1 the user will have to specify the VijeoCitect 7.20 installer location. Locate the MSI installer for the VijeoCitect 7.20 product via the Browse button, then click OK. The SCADA installer is located in the "Citect" folder under the main installation directory (e.g. your DVD drive).

Microsoft Windows Vista and Windows 7

Issues Resolved in this Service Pack


This Service Pack resolves the issues described below. If you have any hotfixes installed on your current version, please check if they are included in this service pack. If the hotfix is not included in the list below, or you have any concerns regarding the issues covered, please contact Support before installing this Service Pack. ActiveX container Issue Issue Title Number and Description 50225 CiTextBox doesn't allow multiline CiTextBox allows multiline Alarm System Issue Issue Title Number and Description 40919 Writing to a local variable configured as an integer array takes too long. Writing to a local variable configured as an integer array takes 10 times longer than to a local variable configured as a string array, if that local variable is attached to the alarm description field in the digital alarm form. This issue has been fixed. 42023 Setting the thresholds property of time-stamped analog alarms would not update the threshold value in standby alarm server. When an alarm threshold property was set, the threshold value on the primary alarm server was updated, but the value of the same threshold on the standby alarm server was not updated. This issue has now been resolved. 44329 AlmTagsGetField() function could not return the correct value of "GROUP" (Suppression Group) and "PRIORITY" (Suppression Level) fields. The following issues only affect Multi-Digital Alarms. AlmTagsGetField() function could not return the correct value of "GROUP" (Suppression Group) and "PRIORITY" (Suppression Level) fields. The values in the configuration fields "Suppression" and "Level" were not correctly used by the runtime system. This issue has now been resolved. In this release, a new keyword "LEVEL" has been used to represent suppression level instead of "PRIORITY", because "PRIORITY" has been used to represent category priority. 50091 The same keyword "GROUP" is used to represent suppression group. Alarm servers startup is significantly slower in v7.20 To avoid on-the-fly alarm catagories validation, the alarm catagories' loading was changed from demand-driven to at-startup. This change reduces system load at runtime but it causes unwanted delay for projects with lots of alarm catagories, so the loading is changed back to demand-driven after improving the run-time validation code. A Multi-Digital alarm will trigger continuously when in an off state if state 000 is configured to trigger the alarm When a Multi-Digital alarm was in a state that has been configured as an off state, the state was being incorrectly set to match that of state 000 (all three variable tags with value 0). So if state 000 was configured to trigger the alarm, the alarm was then triggering every alarm scan. This problem has now been resolved. The millisecond component of alarms is always formatted to be zero v7.10 SP3 introduced internally generated millisecond-resolution timestamps for digital and analog alarms, however this was not correctly formatted. This results in all alarms displaying a timestamp of .000. For PowerLogic SCADA customers this was also resulting in some event log entries being overwritten. This has now been fixed. Alarm server crashing when an alarm becomes active Alarm server may crash when the alarm area is not in the range 0 - 255, this has been fixed 14

Animator Issue Issue Title Number and Description 49893 Static square object configured with gradient fill disappears at runtime A static object configured with gradient fill on the tab template will disappear at runtime after the page has been resaved. This problem has now been fixed. 49994 Fullscreen mode [Animator]FullScreen = 1 or 2 does not work when DynamicSizing is turned off Fullscreen mode [Animator]FullScreen = 1 or 2 does not work when DynamicSizing is turned off. This problem is now fixed. 50007 Under the parameter setting of [Page]DynamicSizing = 0, scrollbars may not appear / hide properly when switching between pages of different sizes Under the parameter setting of [Page]DynamicSizing = 0 (which turns off dynamic sizing / scaling of page contents), when the user switches between page of different solutions, scrollbars may not show or hide as expected. This problem is now fixed. By default, scrollbars will appear if the page content does not fit the window and vice versa. The scrollbars can be permanently turned off by setting Citect.ini parameters [Page]AllowHScrollbar and [Page]AllowVScrollbar to 0. 50190 Number or text object won't rotate within a group that has the rotation movement property set When a number or text object is placed within a group and there is a value set for the angle within the group's rotation movement property page, the number or the text object will not rotate with the group in runtime. This problem has been fixed. 50203 Button shows a stripe when the cursor is hovered over another graphic XP-style buttons with custom fill colours may be rendered with a stripe when the cursor is hovered over another graphic object. This issue has been resolved. 50223 Keyboard Commands (ENTER) does not register following a pop-up box / menu When a popup menu is dismissed/cancelled by clicking away from it, the enter key no longer works properly. Specifically, you need to either press the Escape key, or click something that captures keyboard focus. There were also issues when used by touch screen systems. These problems have now been fixed. Cicode Issue Issue Title Number and Description 46714 LogoutIdle Cicode function is inaccurate. LogoutIdle Cicode function is inaccurate. This issue has been resolved. 49542 0 was returned when calling ServerGetProperty using RDBMemTime on a Trend server with no trend tags defined. 0 was returned when calling ServerGetProperty using RDBMemTime on a Trend server with no trend tags defined. This issue has been resolved. RDBMemTime on a Trend server now returns the time-stamp of _Trend.RDB that was loaded into the memory. The "I/O Device Statistics" form does not display IO devices that have a "Number" over 4095 The "I/O Device Statistics" form does not display IO devices that have a "Number" over 4095. This issue has been resolved. Cicode QueLength() returns incorrect value QueLength() returned a 16 bit signed integer, rather than a 32 bit integer. This presents a real problem for queues longer than 32767 -> queue length may be reported as a negative number, or an incorrect positive number (eg for queues longer than 65534). The issue has now been resolved. Only one trend pen added when using pagetrend() When illegally calling the blocking PageTrend cicode function on a foreground cicode task, the first pen was still added even though the cicode was aborted. This has been rectified, and now the aborted cicode will not result in any pens being added (and a Hardware Alarm will be generated). This blocking function should only be called on a background cicode task. DllCallEx truncating LONG return type to SHORT causing incorrect data being returned from the 15

This has now be fixed. 50836 In remapping, "<UNIT>|<ADDRESS>|" gives compile error "Tag Expected" "<UNIT>|<ADDRESS>|" syntax has been re-enabled for the remapping functionality Database Exchange ActiveX control Issue Issue Title Number and Description 50743 Retain column widths on refresh in DatabaseExchange ActiveX. We did not implement any code to retain changes to column widths made by the user at runtime, so that when a table refreshes, the widths reset. This has now been fixed. Exception Mailer Issue Issue Title Number and Description 50231 Windows Error Reporting prevents process restart after crash A dialog asking to send crash information to Microsoft can appear after the runtime crashes, in which case the process will not restart. Note that [CrashHandler]NoEmail=1 must be set to prevent the analogous Citect dialog and ensure the process restarts. General Issue Issue Title Number and Description 50062 A server may shutdown with a Software Protection Failure as a result of tran write failures When running some large projects, the following message was noticed in the IoServer Syslog file: TranWrite(0, 246): State != TRAN_STATE_ONLINE, state=0 This was due to an incorrect connection state transition on the connection established between the IoServer and the client. Eventually this error will cause the server to shutdown with the following error "Software Protection Failure. Cannot connect to Client.". This problem is fixed. 50105 CodeTrace causes a crash for some built-in CiCode functions if CodeTrace is active, some buit-in CiCode functions may cause a crash by using values as pointers.

Windows shutdown sequence was blocked by Runtime Manager window while Citect is running despite [Kernel]WinShutdown=1. Runtime Manager has been fixed so that it will conditionally respond to WM_QUERYENDSESSION based on [Kernel]WinShutdown. The issue has now been resolved. Foreground SQL is prevented by default. A hardware alarm is generated if an SQL Cicode function is invoked in foreground. Foreground SQL is has always been problematic, but can also cause crashes in SCADA. By default, the user SQL Cicode calls are no longer allowed in foreground Cicode. Runtime scales the expression for fill animations incorrectly If a complex expression is defined for a fill animation, the runtime produces incorrect results. This issue has been resolved. The SCADA system should record the non-default SCADA parameter settings A new file, "Params.dat" has been added to the log folder that contains a historical record of the non-default SCADA parameters. Example: [Params.dat] 2010/12/01-14:42:07.847 [Code] Threads= 128 Default= 64 2010/12/01-14:42:07.852 [Code] TimeSlicePage= 5000 Default= 500 ... Also, the kernel dump has been extended to include a complete list of current SCADA parameter settings.

This problem has been rectified. Graphics Builder Issue Issue Title Number and Description 48864 Graphics Builder runtime error when object links are missing on the page Graphics Builder generated a runtime error when it opens a page with missing object links and a user tries to cancel the process. It has been fixed. Link updates cancellation does not cause the Graphics Builder error. 49585 Objects on top of a Gradient Filled rectangle disappear from Graphics Builder Graphics Builder display error has been fixed. Gradient filled objects used to disappeare when another window or a dialog overlapped them. 50228 Cannot display any object larger than the computer's display resolution Graphics Builder crops any symbol or genie that is larger than the current display resolution. This issue has been resolved. 50278 Moving a number or text object erases a gradient filled rectangle object underneath in the Graphic Builder When moving a number or text object on top of a gradient fill rectangle object, the rectangle object appears erasing in the Graphic Builder. This problem has been fixed. 50454 Upgrading a project causes Graphics Builder to crash A substitution string was missing in two strings of the German version. This causes Graphics Builder to crash when upgrading an old project. This issue has been resolved.

Symbol set 'Array expression' field is not saved properly The symbol set 'Array expression' field was not being saved properly. It should be saved properly. Opening a genie page with an ActiveX control may produce an error Opening a genie with an ActiveX control may result in a popup with the following message: "The ActiveX control is conflicting with Citect and may produce unreliable results. It is strongly recommended that you remove this ActiveX control from the page, save the page and then close and restart Citect Explorer to avoid further problems."

This issue has been resolved. Installation Issue Issue Title Number and Description 42873 Service pack patches don't overwrite newer DLLs. Applying a service pack to an installation containing a hotfix newer than the service pack would not overwrite the hotfix files. This has now been fixed. 43936 Project status is not being set to "Uncompiled" after Service Pack Install. Project status is not being set to "Uncompiled" after Service Pack Install. This issue has now been rectified. IO Server Issue Issue Title Number and Description 47983 When using more than 256 modenet devices get "Channel Offline Cannot talk" for all channels When a test project is with 512 channels configured, then the error "More than 250 Ports defined" does NOT appear. If the number of channels is increased to 513 or more, then the error "More than 512 Ports defined" appears. Note: The Kernel tasks was set to 32767 and Kernel Queues was set to 8000. And if not then 'Kernel tasks exceeded' and 'kernel Queues exceeded' errors show up during starting, and the IOServer never starts. The test project consists of 512 channels of which 4 channels are connected to Real PLC and the rest are connected to a MODBUS Simulator running in a remote machine. When this test project is run, NONE of the channels come ONLINE, and an error "Channel Offline Cannot talk" is logged in Syslog for all the channels. If the number of Channels is reduced to 256, then all of the Channels and Units come ONLINE. If the number is increased to 257, then one of the channel goes OFFLINE and the rest come ONLINE. If it is further increased to 258, then two of them go OFFLINE and the rest come ONLINE. In summary, based on the test results, only 256 channels are being handled properly by the MODNET driver. The driver was changed to allow for more than 250 devices, but the SCADA program also needed to be changed. The SCADA program was combining the board number and the channel number into one 16 bit integer (8 bits for each). The fix is to use only the top 4 bits for the board number (max 16) and the bottom 12 bits for the channel number (max 4096). Both the Modnet driver change and the SCADA change must be applied to allow the use of more than 256 modnet devices. IODevice cache field has no effect Setting Cache TRUE/FALSE dropdown on the IODEvices form has no effect on whether reads are cached or not, only the Cache Time is used. This has been fixed - setting Cache to FALSE will now disable caching regardless of the configured Cache Time Mismatched protocols, ports and/or memory modes between Primary and Standby devices should produce compile-time errors. 18

Mismatched protocols, ports and/or memory modes between Primary and Standby devices should produce compile-time errors. This has now been corrected. 50447 Trends and Alarms are not updated when running an IO server containing multiple DRI based drivers Only one driver was able to register to update trends and alarms through the DRI. This was causing alarms and trends to only update on one of the drivers in the IO server. This problem has now been fixed. 50766 When many devices are configured, losing a connection leads to a non-responsive I/O server. When the network disconnected for an I/O server, each device going offline caused an event which would send a heartbeat message. As the number of devices increased, the performance hit of this increased exponentially eventually leading to a system that does not respond for minutes. Heartbeat messages are now rate limited to prevent this scenario. 51214 Alarm and Trend values can have incorrect time stamp for TagReadEx calls. Alarm and Trend values can have incorrect time stamp for TagReadEx calls. This issue has now been rectified. IO Subsystem Issue Issue Title Number and Description 49977 QualityToStr(q,3) is showing the "Device comm. Loss" instead of "Waiting For Initial Data" The string representation issue has now been resolved. 50176 Alarm server CPU usage is 20% higher than it should be The timer responsible for timing out unresponsive client subscriptions was taking up more CPU usage than it should have been. This was causing higher than expected CPU usage, especially on the alarm server. This problem has now been fixed. Localisation Issue Issue Title Number and Description 50215 When CharSet is set to non-ANSI, Citect Runtime Title-Bar shows part of a roman character Customers using [Language]CharSet and [Language]LocalLanguage to access character sets different to the operating system native character set would see part of a Roman character in the runtime title bar. Also, an incorrect title is displayed in the task bar for multi-byte character sets. These issues have now been fixed. OPC Server Issue Issue Title Number and Description 50210 CtOPc32.exe crash when writing to tags or disconnecting Under heavy loads, or when deleting groups on client disconnection, Citect's OPC server would occasionally crash. This has now been fixed. Project Editor Issue Issue Title Number and Description 50202 Tag import fails for OPC tags with spaces in branch. Tag import is failing for OPC tags with spaces anwywhere in the branch name. This has now been fixed. 50204 Only 7 of the 8 characters in EngUnits field are displayed at runtime The compiler was failing to allocate enough space for all 8 characters of the engineering units field. This has now been resolved. Project, CSV Include Issue Issue Title Number and Description 50218 CSV_MessageBox() does not display the correct text for user-defined buttons on Vista CSV_MessageBox() does not display the correct text for user-defined buttons on Vista and Windows Server 2008 operating systems. This was caused by change in sequence of child windows (controls) in the operating system MessageBox. The fix applies text on buttons irrespective of their sequence in the parent window. 50220 Advanced Filters will not filter Alarm Summary by time and date

Advanced Alarm Filter Does Not Work on Alarm Summary List. When filtering Alarm Summaries, the current Alarms data was being used instead of the historical data recorded within each such Alarm. The issue has now been resolved. 50746 CSV_MessageBox() does not display the correct text for user-defined buttons on Vista CSV_MessageBox() does not display the correct text for user-defined buttons on Vista and Windows Server 2008 operating systems. This was caused by change in sequence of child windows (controls) in the operating system MessageBox. The fix applies text on buttons irrespective of their sequence in the parent window. Reporting System Issue Issue Title Number and Description 50524 Reports are not executed if a Standby Report is defined in the project. If a Standby Report Server is defined in a CITECT project, neither of the Report Servers would run reports. This has now been corrected. Runtime (not Animator) Issue Issue Title Number and Description 42814 [Code]WriteLocal=0 does not work for page or user subscriptions Subscriptions automatically created for pages, as well as manually created by calling the TagSubscribe cicode function, were not honouring the [Code]WriteLocal parameter. Instead they were being forced to update the local cache on any write. Tab Style Include Issue Issue Title Number and Description 49412 Phantom Tab menu toolbar is displayed on windows that are beyond the limit of 9 Up to nine (9) instances of the tab menu toolbar (one on each window) can be displayed on screen at the same time. On the windows that are beyond this limit, phantom items would be displayed on the tab menu toolbar. The limitation is now handled gracefully such that no items will be displayed on windows that are beyond the limit. Tag import/export Issue Issue Title Number and Description 50214 Tag import from OFS was taking a long time if there were many tags. Tag import from OFS was taking a long time if there were many tags. This issue has been fixed. 50219 Tag import fails after recreating a deleted project If Tag Import is used to import tags into a project and that project is subsequently deleted and recreated, further attempts to import will result in an invalid template error. This error was caused by the template path being saved to the citect.ini file and not recreated with the new project. The issue has been resolved, if a template file does not exist the normal default is used. Trend System Issue Issue Title Number and Description 50224 When SPC Trend Plot is printed the span may not match the displayed span SPC Trend Plot when printed shows the same span as the on-screen span even when the sub-group size is not 1 50494 Trends setup to roll over monthly and yearly do not work in 7.20 Monthly trends would fail to reload if the previous month did not have 31 days.
